Give Douluo a technological shock

"The Empire has surrendered, but what about our brave soldiers who died on the front lines?! What about the innocent civilians within our borders who were killed by the Star Fleet?! Who will take responsibility for them?! Who will avenge them?! Huh?!"

Faced with Xu Tianran's roar, all the ministers present felt their faces twitch slightly, but they still dared not speak to dissuade the Sun and Moon Emperor who had gone mad.

"But...if we continue to resist, we will lose even more of our people!! Your Majesty!!!"

Unfazed by Xu Tianran's imposing presence, the former dean cried out, "They've broken through the Soulless Zone!!! They've broken through the Soulless Zone in the heavens!!! Our technology has fallen into an unimaginable chasm!!! Your Majesty!!! This isn't war!!! This is a one-sided massacre!!!"

"You are slaughtering your own people!!! You are sending them to challenge the steel mechs of the stars with stones and sticks!!! The war is over!!! Your Majesty!!! The war is over!!! Continuing will only lead to slaughter!!!"

This former dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy fully understood the terrifying magnitude of the technological gap in soul tools. The war had already ended when the Star Dou Empire first nuclearized the Ark Reactor that Chen Fu had left them! Any remaining stubborn resistance would only result in a meaningless massacre!!

"I said! Shut up!!" Seeing the white-haired old man completely disregarding his dignity and weeping bitterly in the court, Xu Tianran felt an uncontrollable surge of anger. He roared furiously:

"Stop undermining the morale of the Imperial army!! Guards!!! Drag him away!! Thirty strokes of the rod!!!"

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!!"

"No!! Your Majesty!!"

Seeing that Xu Tianran was about to punish the former dean, the ministers below panicked and hurriedly pleaded with Xu Tianran for mercy! The former dean was already an old man, and with the hidden ailment of using drugs to enhance his soul power as a Sun Moon Soul Master, if the frail former dean were to receive these thirty lashes, he would not be far from death!

"I have said it! Do not disrupt the morale of my army!! Execute!!!"

"Your Majesty!! No!!!"

"His Majesty!!!"

No matter how much the ministers cried and screamed, Xu Tianran remained expressionless, coldly watching his stiff-bodied guards as he dragged the former dean, who was still shouting for surrender, out of the palace step by step.

A weary sigh echoed from outside the palace, followed by a shout from the guards at the gate:

"Kong Deming, the head of the Offering Hall, has come to pay his respects!"

"Your Majesty, please spare that old fellow for my sake."

Kong Deming, with a hunched back and a weary expression, walked in step by step from outside.

Ultimately, within the Star Empire, several days passed without any news of the Sun Moon Empire's surrender.

Upon receiving this news, a sigh echoed simultaneously from a research lab within both the Starry Sky Engineering Institute and the Starry Sky Research Institute:

'Why am I so stubborn?'

A cold female voice quickly rang out from the Star Dou Imperial Palace: "Continue the execution!"

Ten days later, the second level-ten soul tool reactor nuclear bomb, [Jin], jointly manufactured using some of the remaining materials, silently ascended into the sky under the watchful eyes of the Star Dou Engineering Institute, the Starry Sky Research Institute, and the Star Dou Imperial Palace!

"The physical opening of the Mingdou Mountain Range barrier, in my consistent understanding, is the beginning of the strengthening of the connection between the two continents. This symbolizes the disappearance of the barrier between the two places. It also means the collapse of the Xu family's rule over the Sun Moon Continent, because there is no longer a distinction between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, and there is only one Star Dou Continent."

Chapter 294: Nurturing All Spirits! Blood Moon over Mingdu! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Chapter 301 Nurturing All Spirits! Blood Moon over Mingdu! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The level 10 soul-guided nuclear bomb [Jin], trailing a dazzling trail of soul power particles, continued to ascend vertically into the sky. Everything on the Douluo Continent rapidly shrank in size. Finally, [Jin] pierced through the thick atmosphere and arrived at the 'Soulless Zone' where soul power was scarce. All the energy runes around [Jin] began to dim and enter a silent state, leaving only the propulsion device still operating weakly. However, as the Earth's gravity continued to decrease, the reduced propulsion power of [Jin] did not affect its continued ascent.

Until this soul-guided nuclear missile, which is over five meters long, officially broke free from the constraints of gravity, four small jet nozzles began to open around the rear of [Jin]'s propulsion device. With the differential spray from the four small jet nozzles, the soul-guided nuclear missile [Jin], which had entered a state of weightlessness, began to change direction above the near-Earth orbit.

At the same time, the [Damocris] space-based satellite, which had been silently hovering in the starry sky of the Star Dou Empire and resembled a scepter of God, released a highly efficient mental signal to connect with the soul-guided nuclear bomb [Jin]. In an instant, it calculated the distance and route between [Jin] and the deployment location, and then compiled this pre-set program into the internal chip of the soul-guided nuclear bomb [Jin] in the form of a mental signal.

As the Damocles satellite launched by Chen Fu, it possesses formidable ground attack capabilities. However, unless the Star Dou Empire loses its mind, it will not allow the Damocles satellite to reach the skies above the Sun Moon Empire.

Leaving aside the issue that the farther the Damocles satellite is from Xingdou, the higher the operational delay becomes, the risk of it being destroyed alone is something the Xingdou Empire can hardly afford.

The Damocles satellite has only left the Star Dou Empire's starry sky once, and that was only possible because Long Xiaoyao was hiding inside the satellite.

The benefits of deploying the Damocles satellite are completely disproportionate to the risk of it being destroyed. This is because the high-ranking officials of the Star Dou Empire deeply understand that any super soul tool equipment made by Chen Fu should not be blown up for fun or wasted.

The Damocles satellite is currently located within the Star Dou Empire and serves as the information processing hub of the satellite communication network led by Huo Yuhao. Without consuming the computing power of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Network, which is already in a dormant state, Huo Yuhao's satellite communication network is currently the main means of communication within the Star Dou Empire.

Furthermore, the Damocles satellite contains a mental programming module left by Chen Fu, making it a remote space operation and processing platform that roams the silent starry sky. This alone is enough for the Star Dou Empire's high command to not allow this super soul tool to be at risk of being destroyed.

Currently, the Star Empire is using the mental programming module inside the Damocles satellite to perform final route programming on the Soul-Guided Nuclear Bomb [Jin] in space. Ground personnel also pre-programmed it before launch, but to prevent errors during flight, the Soul-Guided Nuclear Bomb [Jin] still needs to undergo another check upon entering near-Earth orbit. After all, its power is immense; even a slight deviation in coordinates, resulting in it hitting the wrong spot, would be disastrous.

Logically, the soul-guided nuclear bomb [Jin] should fly directly through the atmosphere and be dropped towards the coordinates. However, considering that the Sun Moon Empire might have a Super Douluo-level expert who could detect it beforehand and intercept it with a long-range soul-guided device, the Star Dou Empire decided to go straight to the target and use a vertical orbital deployment!

So after the coordinates were corrected by the Damocles satellite, the propulsion device at the tail of the soul-guided nuclear bomb [Jin] began to eject energy tail flames, heading west in near-Earth orbit, constantly breaking the speed of sound in the weightless environment, and getting faster and faster!

After flying supersonic for a period of time in the silent starry sky, it suddenly plunged into the atmosphere below, instantly transforming into a dazzling sun through atmospheric friction!

The ever-increasing speed had already caused the Soul-Guided Nuclear Bomb [Jin]'s dive speed to break through ten times the speed of sound in an instant, and there were signs that it was rapidly increasing!

The Sun and Moon people, who were located near the Sun and Moon Continent's drop point, only felt that a blazing sun suddenly appeared in the sky and was falling at an unimaginable speed. Then, just as they were about to react, a blazing sun appeared in the sky and fell at an unimaginable speed.

hum!

A piercing buzzing sound instantly resounded throughout the sky!

The massive shockwave instantly destroyed the surrounding buildings, and the terrifying heat instantly vaporized the Sun and Moon soldiers and trees whose faces had just shown fear!

Boom!! Rumble!!

A massive mushroom cloud rose once again over the Mingdou Mountains! The earthquake triggered by the enormous shockwave traveled hundreds of kilometers, and boundless panic grew wildly in the hearts of countless people!

The Star Dou Empire ultimately played it safe, refraining from launching the Soul-Guided Nuclear Bomb [Jin] at the civilians of the Sun Moon Empire. Meaningless slaughter meant nothing to the Star Dou Empire.

Aside from inciting hatred among the people of the Sun and Moon and resentment from the gods who silently watch the development of Douluo Continent, it brings no benefit whatsoever.

After all, Empress Ju Zi was once a native of the Sun and Moon realm.

The Star Dou Empire's second soul-guided nuclear bomb completely destroyed the morale of all the Sun Moon Army in the Ming Dou Mountains. Perhaps the physical damage caused by this second soul-guided nuclear bomb was not as severe as that of the first soul-guided nuclear bomb, but the mental damage it inflicted on the Sun Moon Army and even the entire Sun Moon Empire was unimaginable!

This means that the Star Empire possesses super-powerful strike capabilities, while the Sun and Moon Empire has never had an effective means of interception.

This is why the former dean of the Royal Soul Guidance Academy of the Sun Moon Empire vehemently denounced Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire for sending his people to their deaths innocently—because the war was over! Continuing would only result in one-sided slaughter!

Xu Mu, stationed on the Xingluo Plain, stared grimly at the mushroom cloud rising again over the distant mountains. At that moment, he deeply felt the terror of the technological advancements in military weaponry; it was no longer something that could be defeated by sheer numbers.

"The war is over."

From being caught off guard to frantically upgrading its military weapons, the Star Empire defeated the almost invincible Sun Moon Empire in less than half a year with minimal cost!

As the absolute superior force of the Sun and Moon Army, the Star Dou Army fought the Sun and Moon Army as easily as beating a son. In fact, the Heavenly Soul Army caused the Star Dou Army even more trouble than the Sun and Moon Army, because the unique nature of their soul skills made the battles highly unpredictable.

But what about when facing the Sun and Moon Army? A significant reduction in soul skills? Or no soul skills at all?

The vast majority of the Star Dou Army members are martial arts Soul Masters in the modern Soul Master system without Soul Skills. The physique of a Soul Venerable is stronger than that of a traditional Soul King or Soul Emperor.

Coupled with the fact that Xingdou's soul tool level was forcibly raised by one person, Xingdou's army became the absolute superior to Sun and Moon's army.

"Get ready! Push the front line forward ten kilometers and see how the enemy reacts!"

As Xu Mu's order was relayed, the 100,000 Star Dou troops and the 100,000 Star Luo troops who were about to be assimilated by Star Dou immediately began to pack up their equipment. The front and rear armies covered each other and began to advance in a cyclical manner.

Just as the Starry Sky Army began its advance towards the Mingdou Mountains, inside the Sun Moon Empire, in the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, the agitated Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran dismissed everyone and impatiently addressed the only remaining figure, Kong Deming:

"Those despicable Star People are still slaughtering our people! Elder Kong! It's time to make a choice!!"

"..." Kong Deming glanced painfully at Xu Tianran, whose face was full of irritation, and then sighed, "If my frail body can reduce the losses of the Sun and Moon people, then I will not hesitate to do so."

Kong Deming understood that the number of Sun and Moon people who died at Xu Tianran's hands might far exceed the number who died at the hands of the Star Dou army. However, what was distressing was that Xu Tianran's killings had nothing to do with the Star Dou or Star Luo countries. Therefore, if they wanted to retaliate, Sun and Moon might suffer even greater harm.

"Alright! Let's begin!!"

Seeing that the stubborn old man Kong had finally relented, Xu Tianran stopped pretending and clapped his hands, saying, "We've prepared almost all the resources, we're just waiting for your word!"

As Xu Tianran clapped his hands, black-clad men exuding an evil aura emerged from the palace. There were at least two hundred of them, and the aura of these men was at least that of a Soul Saint!

"We need to act quickly! The venue and everything else are almost ready! We can gather the remaining resources today!"

Kong Deming's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the large number of evil spirit masters. He opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Since he has already made this choice, he should naturally continue down this dead-end path with unwavering resolve.

"To avoid the Star Warriors suddenly appearing! We can begin now!!!"

Xu Tianran looked down at the more than two hundred high-level soul masters, his fervor growing even more frenzied.

Although Old Man Kong is too proud to admit it now, he believes that once Kong Deming experiences the joy of advancing his soul power, he will definitely become addicted!

In fact, Xu Tianran did not want to give up the opportunity to become a god to Kong Deming. It was just that Kong Deming's natal soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, was the most compatible with the super soul tool, the Conferred God Platform Soul Tool. Therefore, in order to avoid failure, Xu Tianran, who was not without reason, would naturally try to pull Kong Deming into their camp of 'new soul masters'!

"We will surely be the most perfect humans of the new era! The most perfect new Soul Masters!!"

Xu Tianran stood on the steps and shouted fervently to the more than two hundred high-level evil soul masters below: "Shepherd all spirits! Help me ascend to godhood!"

"Shepherd all spirits! Help me ascend to godhood!"

"Shepherd all spirits! Help me ascend to godhood!"

The evil spirit masters below responded to Xu Tianran's eerie calls like fanatical believers!

At this moment, Kong Deming was shocked to discover that Xu Tianran, who was standing in front of him, no longer had the legs of a soul tool.

Xu Tianran then turned to look at the stunned Kong Deming and smiled mysteriously:

"Welcome to the new Soul Master! Welcome to a new era!"
